Do I lay wood flooring and then put Magnet kitchen on top? Not too much waste?

[nmh]

Hi - novice here but am doing a big kitchen renovation (not myself)!

 

But I'm ordering things. We have a large amount of wall to ceiling Magnet kitchen cabinets and a peninsular. 

 

Ordering engineered oak for the floor which isn't cheap. 

 

So do we run this oak flooring under everything? Or just partially so just the front of the kitchen cabinets go on top?  But how would the back of the cabinets lay even?

 

many thanks

Partially and leave an expansion gap around the edges 

If you put the units on top of the floor

it won’t be able to move

For economy you can change material behind the plinth to the same depth. Then appliances can be slid in, and it is easier to clean.

i wouldnt. kitchen down first then run flooring into the legs, covered by plinth. guarantee you have no issues with movement then.
